Spotted @ MarketWatch

Eeek, another pundit pontificating on Microsoft Mesh. I read some things that struck a chord and had to chime in. Some of the comments are insightful and John does make some good points even if they are surrounded by a lot of hot air...

I probably would have granted him more respect for this opinions had he not knocked Lotus Notes. (maybe I'm being a bit defensive here...)

If you don't care to read the whole thing, the best part is a new rule for journalists/analysts that I am campaigning for...

On that note, I propose a new rule for all analysts/journalists.

Doing so only confuses people you are trying to impart wisdom upon at the risk of making you sound like a technological hack or worse marketing flunky (if the writing is in favor of the product or paradigm).
